I don't care if they participated in a satanic ritual, Christian mass or if they summoned Yog-Sothoth, that has nothing to do with school, there should be no way for people to be expelled for something like that. And to top it off, it was a fucking dance ceremony.

At the time, her private school’s teachers were mostly white people who would often discuss the satanic nature of Apache traditions

Jesus fucking Christ...

I would agree, but it also wasn't a public school. Parochial schools in some places can be lax on the "Monday through Friday" type of school and focus on the Sunday School part.

WTF is a Lutheran school doing on a reservation to begin with? Why would any Native American even want to send their kids to it?

After reading the article and thinking about it more, I have another question:

Isn't it time to start considering missionary work to be a hate crime?
